There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...

I'm starting to get into photography, and I just bough a Canon Rebel T3I.
It came with 3 lenses:
- 50mm (EF 1:1:8 II)
- 18-55mm (EFS)
- 75-300MM (f/1.4-5.6)
My main goal here is to learn more about those lenses, and hopefully get some suggestions on what lenses should I get for my need. I want to do travel photography, and portrait of people while traveling. By travel photography, I mostly mean landscapes, mountains, wildlife, etc.
From my research, none of the lenses I own are good for landscape photography because they are not wide enough. I am on a low budget, does anyone have any idea on what wide lens should I buy?
From what I understood, the 50mm is good for low light situation and portrait. Not so sure about the 18-55mm...
And the 75-300MM is just a mega zoom. Would that be good for wildlife?
I'd really like to get more information about those lenses, and let me know if I should buy another one. Like I said I'm not willing to spend 1k on a new lens for now as I'm just learning, but I still would like to take some pretty awesome landscape pictures!
Thanks so much for the help,
Cam :-)
